Joaquin - Called up for midweek game Joaquin (knee) should be available for selection in Thursday's clash against Athletic Club as he was called up to the squad by Betis.
Youssouf Sabaly - Could return Thursday Sabaly (ankle) was called up by Betis to face Athletic Club on Thursday.
Impact Sabaly has missed his side's last six La Liga matches with an ankle injury he suffered while on international duty in late March, but he has recovered enough to make the squad this mid-week and could return to the pitch against Bilbao.

Borja Iglesias - Should be available Thursday Iglesias (undisclosed) was called up by Betis for Thursday's clash against Athletic Club.
Impact Iglesias missed the defeat against Barcelona last weekend but should at least be back in the squad to face Bilbao, with Ayoze Perez or Willian Jose able to start up front if Iglesias isn't quite ready to return to the XI. After starting the season hot with eight goals in 13 La Liga appearances before the World Cup break, he's cooled off in 2023 with just four goals through 15 matches since the turn of the year.

Victor Ruiz - Still out against Bilbao Ruiz (strain) was not called up by Betis for Thursday's clash against Athletic Club.
Impact Ruiz will miss a sixth straight game Thursday with a muscular injury he suffered in early April. With Luiz Felipe (thigh) also out and Edgar Gonzalez suspended, Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini might have to get creative with his center-back pairing on Thursday.

Joaquin - Comes off injured against Barcelona Joaquin had to come out of Saturday's defeat against Barcelona in the 81st minute after suffering a knee injury. Betis had to play the final minutes with nine men as they had alrea...
Impact Joaquin will be evaluated over the next few days before a decision is made about his availability for Thursday's clash against Athletic Club. Even when fully fit he has started just once in his 17 La Liga appearances this season.

Luiz Felipe - Injured again Felipe suffered a thigh injury in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Felipe, having only recently returned from three weeks out, has suffered another setback in what has been an injury-hit debut season in La Liga. His replacement, Edgar Gonzalez, was sent off and will be suspended for Thursday's match against Athletic Club. This leaves manager Manuel Pellegrini dangerously short of cover at centre-back and he maybe forced to play somebody out of position if Victor Ruiz fails to recover from a muscle injury.

Guido Rodriguez - Scores own goal Rodriguez scored an own goal, won two of his four tackles and made two interceptions in Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Barcelona.
Impact Rodriguez inadvertently diverted the ball past his own keeper following a goalmouth scramble. He has been an ever-present in midfield during the second half of the season, only missing one game since the World Cup.
MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Miranda - Two crosses in loss Miranda attempted two crosses (one accurate) and created one chance in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Miranda ranked first for attempted crosses among his teammates as his Betis, reduced to 10 men early on against the league leaders, struggled to create many openings. He has two goals in his last four and will have a better chance of registering further attacking returns against Athletic club on Thursday.
MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Silva - Concedes four in loss Silva conceded four goals and made three saves in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Silva has only kept one clean sheet in his last six games, conceding 11 goals. He has now conceded 32 goals this season and has nine clean sheets. Betis next face Athletic club on Thursday in a vital match in the race for Europe next season.

Jimenez Juanmi - Comes off bench in loss Juanmi came off the bench during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Juanmi was returned to the bench and was active for 15 minutes to close out the match. It was a one-sided rout throughout the match and Juanmi had little chance to do much in his time off the bench.

Edgar Gonzalez - Sent off in loss Gonzalez was shown a pair of yellow cards and sent off during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Gonzalez was shown the two yellow cards within 10 minutes of each other after coming off the bench to replace the injured Luiz Felipe. The match went bad to worse from there as Barcelona piled on the scoring while Gonzalez was left on the sideline. Gonzalez will be suspended for a Thursday trip to Athletic Club.

Borja Iglesias - Misses training Friday Iglesias (undisclosed) did not train with Betis on Friday, putting him in doubt for the clash against Barcelona at the weekend, Marca reports.
Impact Iglesias played the second half of Tuesday's draw with Real Sociedad and has started 14 of Betis' 17 La Liga matches overall since the World Cup break, but he missed the final training session of the week and his status is now uncertain for Saturday's game. Ayoze Perez or Willian Jose could start up front against Barcelona if Iglesias isn't ready to go.

Sergio Canales - Attempts six crosses Canales generated two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Seemingly, Canales' suspension continues to be on hold, as he is participating in Betis games without any updates. Betis just visited Osasuna and hosted Real Sociedad. During both games, Canales was able to play at least 45 minutes and attempt six crosses.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Miranda - Attempts seven crosses Miranda recorded two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad.
Impact Though Miranda's goal streak unsurprisingly stopped Tuesday, he remained a formidable force from the flank. Heading into Betis' last game of April at Barcelona on Saturday, he has logged 26 crosses (six accurate) across his five appearances this month.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
German Pezzella - Records 12 clearances Pezzella registered three tackles (three won), 12 clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Pezzella sat out Betis' previous game during the weekend but was able to participate when the team hosted Real Sociedad on Tuesday. Pezzella's availability proved to be a blessing, as his team-best 12 clearances and overall defensive effort helped shut out Betis' latest opponent.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Silva - Three-save clean sheet Silva recorded three saves and allowed zero goals in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus Real Sociedad.
Impact Silva saved two shots by Brais Mendez and one from Mikel Merino. Those were all the goalkeeper needed to save for his first clean sheet since March 19. Currently, Silva's next game is scheduled at Barcelona on Saturday. Though not a favorable option, he has some momentum at least.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Youssouf Sabaly - Remains out against Sociedad Sabaly (ankle) was not called up by Betis for Tuesday's clash against Real Sociedad.
Impact Sabaly is set to miss a fifth consecutive game Tuesday after spraining his ankle during the March international window. Aitor Ruibal should return from suspension to continue as the starting right-back in his absence.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aitor Ruibal - Can return Tuesday Ruibal should be available to feature in Tuesday's clash against Real Sociedad after serving a red card suspension.
Impact Ruibal has missed his side's last two games after getting sent off in the loss to Cadiz on April 9, but he should be eligible to return against Sociedad and could take back over from Martin Montoya as the starting right-back.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ayoze Perez - Six shots in loss Perez attempted six shots (one on target) and three crosses (none accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Osasuna.
Impact Having registered a goal and an assist in the previous game, Perez was unlucky not to register more attacking returns against Osasuna as he attempted more shots than anyone else on the pitch. He has one goal in 11 games since arriving on loan from Leicester City in January.
